1909 DEDICATED DESK Guidelines

Welcome to your dedicated workspace at 1909! To ensure a productive, safe, and welcoming environment for everyone, please follow these guidelines:

  1. Keep Your Desk Tidy:
    Maintain a clean and organized desk area. Store personal items neatly and clear any clutter to help keep the shared space efficient and inspiring.

  2. Safety with Standing Desks:
    When raising your standing desk, proceed cautiously. Multiple members share the same power strip, so avoid abrupt movements that might cause electrical issues or accidents.

  3. Chair Safety:
    If you use your desk in standing mode, please push your chair fully under your desk when not in use. This prevents chairs from rolling into walkways and ensures a safe passage for everyone.

  4. Mindful Communication:
    For chatty or extended phone calls, please step into one of the phone booths or reserve one of the four available conference rooms. This helps keep the noise level down in the shared area.

  5. Watch Your Volume:
    Be especially mindful of your speaking volume—noise-cancelling headphones can make you speak louder than intended. Keeping your voice at a considerate level helps maintain a quiet environment.

  6. Personalization:
    Feel free to add a personal touch to your desk, but please do so in a way that doesn’t compromise the overall look and functionality of our shared space. If in doubt, check with our team before making changes.

  7. Maintenance & Reporting:
    Keep your workspace in good condition and report any issues with equipment or facilities to our support team promptly, so we can address them quickly.

  8. Courtesy & Community:
    Remember that you’re part of a collaborative community. Small acts of courtesy—such as keeping noise levels low, cleaning up after yourself, and respecting shared spaces—make a big difference.
